Found a flyer for a free computer class at the laundromat board that actually changed my week

Last Tuesday I was killing time waiting for my clothes to dry and this old bulletin board had a torn flyer for a free Excel class at the library. I figured why not, I've been wanting to learn formulas for my side hustle tracking sales. The class was run by a retired accountant named Frank who showed me how to use pivot tables in about 10 minutes. Now I'm actually excited to organize my numbers instead of dreading it. Have you guys ever found a random class or workshop on a board that actually ended up being useful?

Totally love that pivot tables clicked for you, they're total game changers

That moment when something clicks and suddenly makes sense is such a satisfying feeling. Its weird how it happens all over life not just with spreadsheets. Like last week I finally figured out a better way to organize my tool boxes and it felt like the same kind of breakthrough. Those little ah-ha moments add up and make everything easier down the road.
